Good news but will it be UEFI compatible or will be have to wait for say V8 before seeing that?
@Nesivos: avast! doesn't need to support EFI/UEFI at all.
Our "Boot time scanner" is a Windows program, it runs when the computer is started during Windows bootup (just like e.g. autochk.exe, it does essentially the same thing as Chkdsk but will only run during bootup). It's executed as the first application in the loading phase. I played a little bit with EFI programming and this layer is totally separated from Windows applications.
AVAST plans to release the avast! final version 7 in approximately 2-3 weeks.
@INGBEAN: that's correct!
I have in the Spanish section of the forum a member saying that " it is really hard to see Avast! 7 for the visually impaired ". What can he do to make it easier ?
@iroc9555: can you please ask for more details? I mean, what's worse compared to version 6? Thanks.
